My alliance has weekly compititions to see who can come up with the best strategy, and my recent "How to stop a 30k warrior, 40K archer attack with less than 30K troops" is quickly becoming the leading contender (sorry, not going to post here. Alliance members only). War is not won by throwing force at force. Dead soldiers come from throwing force at force. Forget all your preconceptions on warefare. This is a strategy game, not a slugfest.

At the end of the Vietnam War, the American commander and the NV commander met to discuss America's withdraw. The American command said to the NV commander "You know. We won every single engagment in this war." The NV commander said back "That's true, but it's also irrelevant."
Cataphract... the one unit nobody seems to value... except those who constantly kill 30k/40k armies... heck ratchet that up to 30k/60k... 30k Cataphract will ruin that size an army...

BUT...

Battering Ram... the choice of the new generation... will soon take over the role of ultimate defender with the gates open... throw 20,000 of those babies in your city... along with Cataphracts to chase enemies down... omg I'm thinking its DrPepper time.

P.S. I almost forgot to mention the logs rolling over people... its fun to watch from the balcony of town hall.
